nitrous carnage has really slowed me from ever shooting my car. i have had enough stuff to spray my car for years now, just that kind of stuff is always in the back of my mind

Some people run two solenoids to reduce the chances of these things happening.

thats why you should have a valve in the car and a purge. no reason for there to be nitrous in the line when the car is off.

streetsweeper is telling the truth. when used rite nitrous is pure fun in a bottle. only danger is when u start havin 2 much fun, u might get some detonation. oh yea, if ur a punk it may cause underwear damage. this only applies 2 punks with real race cars, street cars will simply spin if u shoot enough 2 detonate. but i wouldnt worry about detonation or traction loss,u shouldnt need nitrous 2 run the high school kids that ur picking on with ur street cars.

Amen. I have seen that happen more than once. Rule of thumb is if the car shuts off when you try to shoot it, not only is the tune up screwed up, but you better take the coil wire off and turn it over a little to pump out the nitrous, before trying to start it..
